hello everyone,
I’ve been looking to move from Windows. The only thing that is stopping me is Marvel Rivals. I have a pretty modest system: Ryzen 5 5500, RX 6600 XT, so I cannot afford to lose any performance. If someone can tell me what their experience with the game is, I’d appreciate it.

Context:

Children of Morta is an action role-playing video game with roguelike elements, released in September 2019.

Players take on the role of members of the Bergson family, with additional family members being unlocked as a player progresses through the game, to a total of seven playable characters.

Issue:

Native Linux version of the game received an update that shipped libfmod.so library that contains a wrong flag blocked by OS protection, rendering the game unable to load.

Fix:

• OPTION A: Clear libfmod.so library's incorrect flag with execstack:

1. Install execstack from your distro's package manager.
2. Apply execstack -c ./libfmod.so in ../ChildrenOfMorta/ChildrenOfMorta_Data/Plugins directory.

• OPTION B: Replace libfmod.so library with the cleared library I uploaded.

Hey all,

Been dabbling in the world of Linux for some time, and I think I'm ready to make a more permanent change over to Linux. Because I do game dev, I still plan on keeping Windows around to test and build games, but I've preferred the Linux environment a lot more in general.

I've experimented with HDR on Linux in the past, but never got too far with it because I was still primarily using Windows and HDR just worked a lot better over there, especially as an NVIDIA user. However, now that I'm more interested in using Linux, I want to try setting up HDR properly, and I'm aware of two methods, but I'm unsure which would be better as an NVIDIA user. I have an RTX 3080 Ti. If it helps I only game on Steam no other platforms.

I know that setup is possible with Gamescope + some launch options in the steam settings of a game to enable HDR. I'm aware that this can be a popular option when your DE doesn't support Wayland which is needed for HDR if I'm understanding correctly.

I also know that if you are using a desktop environment with Wayland and HDR support (like KDE and GNOME) you can enable HDR via the display settings, use Proton GE, and some launch options (I can't recall at the moment) on Steam to get the HDR toggle to work in game

Any pitfalls I should be aware of and are there any distros where I might have a better shot of getting this set up properly? I'm open to using a different distro since I've found that they all basically work for all my other non gaming related use cases

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Linux Game Bench - a community-driven database for gaming benchmarks on Linux.

What it does:
- Compare FPS benchmarks across different GPUs, CPUs, and settings
- Track performance
- Upload your own benchmarks via CLI tool
- Filter by game, resolution, GPU, and more

Looking for:
- Testers to try uploading benchmarks
- Feedback on the UI/UX
- Feature suggestions
- Bug reports

Links:
- Website: https://linuxgamebench.com

- GIT https://github.com/taaderbe/linuxgamebench
- CLI Tool: pip install linux-game-benchmark

The site is still early stage, so any feedback is appreciated. What features would you want to see? What's confusing? What's missing?

Thanks! 🐧

Context:

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is a first-person shooter video game, both a remake of and a sequel to Painkiller), developed by The Farm 51 and published by Nordic Games. The game was released on 31 Oct 2012, for Microsoft Windows and for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 28 Jun 2013.

Linux beta of the game released on 16 Oct 2013.

Issue:

Though the game's native Linux version runs fine with proprietary Nvidia drivers, it fails to launch due to compatibility issues with Mesa3D drivers on AMD/Intel GPUs.

Solution:

1. Add mesa_glthread=0 %command% to the game's Steam launch options.
2. Replace the game's PKHDGame.sh launch script with fixed script:

That's it! Credits go to onthim and imamhs.

I really don't like the branded app launcher icon some distros have, so I made a SUPER simple one myself for KDE - it is very simple, but I think it looks pretty good! Feel free to take it and use it https://imgur.com/a/0OY3jle.

Gaming on the go doesn't have to be boring, so check out the Decked Out Collection Humble Bundle for some interesting picks.

.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

i'm replaying rdr2 at once and there seem to be quite a bit of freezes/crashes present during the game all of which happen at specific points during missions, i got 2 freezes during the train robbing mission in the first chapter and got a freeze during the mission where you go hunt a bear with hosea right after you purchase a new horse, the chapter 1 freezes went away after a restart, but the hosea one i quite literally can't get past, it always freezes my game and i have to restart the whole mission over again.

I don't know why, but I can't enable the new DLSS presets from DLSS 4.5 to all the games I've been trying on. On AC Shadows or STALKER 2 it works just fine, the overlay indicates that I'm on preset L or M, but on Cyberpunk and Star Wars Outlaws, the same overlay says I'm on preset D.

I've manually updated all the .dll with the ones from the latest Streamline SDK, and the latest DLSS SR/RR/FG from TechPowerUp, I use the exact same launch parameters in Steam (PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1 NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_L PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%), and yet it works on some games and not on others.

I also tried to add the RR override for CP2077 (PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE=1 PROTON_DLSS_INDICATOR=1 DXVK_NVAPI_DRS_SETTINGS=NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE=on NGX_DLSS_RR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_LATEST NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE=on NGX_DLSS_SR_OVERRIDE_RENDER_PRESET_SELECTION=RENDER_PRESET_LATEST PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% --launcher-skip -skipStartScreen) as I thought it could be necessary since Cyberpunk uses ray reconstruction contrary to AC Shadows, but unfortunately it doesn't change anything.

Any idea what I'm missing ?

Why would I be stupid enough to run Steam in Wine? Because I need a Windows Steam install on my external drive.

I guess I'll have to throw the disk in a Windows VM... which I don't have, and installing it will be a misery, thanks Microsoft.

And the reason why I think it's the 64bit client is because I did the same thing before it was a thing, and it worked, not great, like all Wine things are, but usable.

Edit: Somebody already reported it https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58346, and the workaround is to resize the window.

I did a few terrible things to it. I replaced cinnamon-killer-daemon with a script that just exits immediately. Removed everything from cinnamon which doesn't apply to my computer but for some reason is all baked in-to cinnamon-core like wacom, a11y etc etc.

I'd like to revisit the wastelands as its been some time; however, from what I see the prevailing "Linux install" method is to install it on Windows and migrate that to a Linux.

Just asking if anyone has already gone down this road and if there's a way to do it from Linux natively.

In case you're wondering WTF is Tale of Two Wastelands is their FAQ says it best:

"Tale of Two Wastelands is a total conversion project that seamlessly merges Fallout 3 and its DLC into Fallout: New Vegas, allowing both games to be played in a single playthrough. It upgrades Fallout 3's mechanics to those of FNV, while balancing both games to feel like you're playing one full game (instead of two different games using the same character)."

When I was doing research into linux gaming I came across Faugus launcher and alot of people also commenting why they need another launcher when theres Heroic. I have been using it for battle .net and also Mods like Age of the ring, all in one BFME launcher and they all work flawlessly Using Proton GE no weird lutris scripts. So far it seems to be running better than on windows!

one thing to keep in mind when running mods like all in one BFME is you usually need to run the installer then go back and have it run the .exe in the prefix folder. And also open firewall ports to be able to join games in Starcraft.

Any way Shout out to the devs. I can now play my random obscure games with friends that I never would've thought would worked. Because of this I got rid of my windows boot as I no longer need it.
